With bookies in the UK already taking bets on baby names, Expedia has published a report on the most popular British royal baby names of years past. As the British monarchy has a penchant for reusing family names, knowing the greatest hits might help you put your money on the winner.

The three most popular royal names since the birth of Queen Victoria in 1819 are Albert, George, and Victoria.

George has also been an extremely popular royal baby name, trailing only slightly behind Albert with 10 uses in the past 200 years. Prince William and Kate Middleton’s choice of the name for their eldest son, Prince George, is a testament to its staying power.
